Honestly, it's 100 times better than spreading misinformation under the guise of humor, meme. cynicism humor these days isn't even funny anyway. It just makes people feel negative.
If you don't check facts and watch out for the impact on people, one day we'll have to limit our humor, so use your freedom responsibly. If you want to laugh, Just laugh. Don't laugh as a means to achieve something.
i try to avoid getting blocked by people i almost posted something political that could be controversial yikes!!! if they block me over a single comment its just smh
Nah, this place has no sense of humour, a total of zero memes. That's why I open it once or twice a week to keep up with all the clownery that keeps happening
Isnt it possible a joke can also be a jab ... with a pointed stick ... real or metaphorical. a jab one must, in all good sportsmanship, take. To recieve, or be the butt of a joke is to be accepted with grace and dignity. If you are a gentleman. It is, afterall, just a joke ...
Ageeed - I’m tired of things needing to be “funny”. I need people to start taking stuff seriously over perpetuating the pyramid of harm in the hopes of landing a Netflix comedy special.
I've found some humorous things on BlueSky, but in all honesty, that's not what I'm here for. I come looking for the latest scoop on all the nasties our current government is dishing out on us.
I hate to say it, but when he's gone and things normalize, I probably won't be on here as much.
I didn't get through the entire article, so I don't know if this was spelled out later, but it does seem like each social media community has its own stick up the ass. You have to look for it, but there will be some subject that you will be told is off-limits for humor.
April 19, 2025 next handsoff protest/ 50501 movement. Please spread the word! April 19th 1775 was the start of the American Revolution 2025 - peaceful Revolution to take back our country! We will never stop!! 🇺🇸 5.2 million Americans protested April 5, 2025!
What a bullshit article. I never liked Twitter. It was crap from the start & only got worse. There is TONS of humor on BlueSky! But you have to have an IQ over 75 to get much of it. Unlike Twitter. (I guess he never read any of my posts😉)
When I first joined, had a guy who called me out and totally ridiculed my comment because I didn't get his joke. Then he made a big deal of deleting the thread. Too much drama so I make very few comments.
That's because #Bluesky has literally built in "protections" so that those of us who make jokes aren't allowed to respond unless we're part of the cult. Their entire business model is about making sure no one is offended--and that is a very dangerous thing.
I am not able to find a single humorous account to follow on Blue sky that at least meets my humor. It is the one item lacking but I enjoy intelligent comments unlike what I was seeing on Twitter
The music biz has raised me to value and defend Intellectual Property…can really agree that ideas can’t be taken…now feeling like I’m proving @wired.com point ha
Why does it have to have rules about what you can say and how? That sounds far too neurotypical (as in , they have rules about conversations; I don't understand them).
Don't you just post stuff and see if anyone wants to chat?
Going to go out on a limb and say a lot of them just aren’t funny. They tell inane, insipid jokes that only got laughs on Twitter because its large user base allowed for enough inane, insipid people to find them funny.
Great article; perfect proof that indeed BlueSky is an aggregate of [at least slightly] different cultures just trying to figure each other out! MAGA wants to accuse us BlueSkiers of being an empty echo chamber of perfectly similar minds. [FYI I've found young'uns to be tolerant of my Boomerism.]

Seems to me like if anyone outside the lulz bois thought they were funny they’d have a non-captive audience.
"Less orphan murder BUT less marinara sauce, too."
I was just blocked by someone complaining about her email being spammed by saying it was probably an email harvesting bot.
You just can't predict how people will respond.
I ain't that jocular, man.
I don't make the rules.
